Genio Y Figura [DVD] [Joyas de el Cine Mexicano]

A trip to Mexico City leads to disastrous results for a trio of country bumpkins in this 1953 Mexican comedy. When the pregnant Esther gets some bad news from her doctor, he advises her to visit a clinic in the capitol, so she enlists husband Antonio to drive her there at once. Accompanying the couple is Esther's brother Luis, and as soon as the men drop her off at the hospital, they hit a local nightclub and live it up, getting in to trouble along the way. As they leave the club in the company of a young dancer, the group gets robbed, and these criminals are thorough: they even steal the poor victims' clothes! Taken in to the police station and documented along the way, their photograph turns up in the paper the next day, which Esther, in a much-improved state, of course sees. The men will have a lot of explaining to do when they arrive at the clinic to pick up a very irate Esther!
